Sanyo Epson 7.1 inch polysilicon LCD display : Sanyo Epson announced the development of the world's smallest direct-view full high definition low-temperature polysilicon liquid-crystal display (LCD). Measuring just 7.1 inches, this display brings unparalleled resolution and definition to the market. The fusion of telecommunications and broadcasting through digitization and the seamless integration of cable and mobile communication in the network society have raised expectations for the next generation of mobile devices and for the improved convenience that these devices will bring. Moreover, consumers are increasingly demanding that small and medium-sized LCDs for mobile devices should have high resolution.

To meet these demands, Sanyo Epson has developed products based on the concept of supplying clear, user-friendly displays that can be used anytime, anywhere. As part of its HCL-S strategy (High quality, Compact design, Low power consumption, System solutions), Sanyo Epson has developed a 7.1-inch LTPS LCD that allows full HD video and still images to be displayed on portable devices. This display is ideally placed to tap into the multimedia market as it expands further through high definition video content services, such as terrestrial digital television broadcasting and "One Seg," a new service in Japan enabling digital TV broadcasts to be viewed on mobile phones.

Sanyo Epson LTPS LCD monitor - High resolution
The 7.1-inch LTPS LCD boasts the world's smallest screen size for a full HD LCD. A resolution of 310 pixels per inch, the highest level for panels of this size, has been attained thanks to high-resolution technology and the color conversion algorithms of Sanyo Epson's Photo Fine Chromarich wide color gamut technology, which enables more than 100% coverage of the NTSC color gamut. In addition, this new display is ideal for visual expression thanks to Sanyo Epson's proprietary technologies, including Photo Fine Vistarich wide viewing angle technology, which enables the displays to produce clear images from any angle, and AME (Auto-Movie-Enhancement) image processing technology. Moreover, the display features a low-energy design, making it perfect for mobile devices.

Sanyo Epson will exhibit the 7.1-inch LTPS LCD at FPD International 2006 organized by Nikkei Business Publications, which will be held from October 18 to 20 at Pacifico Yokohama. As a core company in achieving the i3 (developments in mobile displays) strategy of the Epson Group's SE07 medium-to-long-term corporate vision, Sanyo Epson will continue to develop clear, high-resolution displays that can be used anytime, anywhere, based on the concepts of the HCL-S strategy, as it strives to be the number one manufacturer of small and medium-sized LCDs.
